In Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, CDP-activated glycerol and ribitol are necessary to build wall teichoic acid.[1]
In Rhodothermus marinus, CDP-activated inositol is necessary to form the phospholipid dialkylether glycerophosphoinositide, which contains inositol phosphate and ether-linked alkyl chains.[2]
CDP is commonly formed in the reaction Dolichol + Cytidine Triphosphate (CTP) ⟶ Dolichol-phosphate + CDP, which is prevalent in many biochemical pathways.[3]
